Abstract
Effect of economic and security challenges on the Nigerian health sector.
Highlights
Dear Editor, The call on the federal Government of Nigeria to declare a state of emergency in the Nigerian health sector by its federal law makers has come at a time when the health sector of the country is in a dysfunctional state
This has been furthered by the fact that the Nigerian economy has suffered setbacks in recent times, with the official announcement of having entered an economic recession by Finance Minister for the federal government in July 2016, after annual inflation increased to 17.1%, the highest in the last decade1
This came following the steep fall in the price of crude oil from $115 in 2014 to the current $35 per barrel2
